Fennec Pharmaceuticals reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 14, 2025. The company delivered results that narrowly improved year-over-year, with a 43.2% reduction in net losses, though no formal guidance was provided for the full year.

Revenue
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2025 reached $9.65 million, reflecting a 32.9% year-over-year increase from $7.26 million in Q2 2024. This growth was driven entirely by sales of the PEDMARK product line, which accounted for the entirety of the company’s reported revenue. The performance highlights the product's growing contribution to the company’s financials, with no additional segments currently reporting revenue.

Earnings/Net Income
The company’s earnings improved markedly in the second quarter, with a 45.0% reduction in the per-share loss, narrowing to $0.11 from $0.20 in the prior-year period. On an absolute basis, Fennec Pharmaceuticals cut its net loss to $3.15 million, down 43.2% from $5.55 million in the same period of 2024. This marks a positive shift, though the company remains unprofitable. The reduction in losses indicates progress in controlling costs and operational efficiency. The EPS result, while still negative, reflects a meaningful step toward long-term profitability.

The strategy's compound annual growth rate was 5.06%, supported by a maximum drawdown of 0.00%, and a Sharpe ratio of 0.10, underscoring its low-risk nature with limited downside exposure during market volatility.
